The Travellers and the Axe

Two men were travelling together. One of them, having found an axe, the other said, "We have found an axe." "Don't say, 'we have found,'" replied the first, "but, 'you have found.'" A few moments later, they were overtaken by those who had lost the axe, and the one who had it, seeing himself pursued, said to his fellow traveller, "We are done for." "Don't say, 'we are done for,'" replied the other, "but, 'I am done for'; for when you found the axe, you did not make me a partner in your find."
